What Are You Doing Today?

Yes, they are smilies that can be inserted into posts if you can spend an afternoon going through them. You found twice as many "hug" smilies as I did, because I only saw the one.

Many of us have been using those insertable emojis for a while now. If you want something specific you can use the search function and not scroll through 10,000 emojis. On an Apple device you can also insert a regular emoji (Apple Mac keyboard FN + e). I'm sure Windows has a similar function but I'm not firing up a laptop to see.

Use the Windows key plus the period to get the emojis. They are pretty similiar to what we have here on the forum already though.

I just looked. You cannot import emojis to a Windows machine in order to increase your choices...what you see is what you get. They are stored in a secure font file that can neither be edited nor replaced.

I just realized that Yvonne is talking about the post "like" button emojis. There are only 6 and no hug. Plus, when I click on the emoji button that you indicated, I only see 2 "hug" emojis.

If I'm giving a male member a Thumbs Up for killing a deer or pulling a stump with his tractor, I do not want to inadvertently give him a hug. So we can keep them out of the Like menu.

I just clicked on a "thinking emoji" from Windows, and it inserted right here. 🤔 Or did I misunderstand something?

I probably was not clear. Since you pointed out that the Windows emojis and the ones on the forum are pretty much the same, I looked to see if it was easy to add emojis to the menu in Windows so folks could do that as a work around. It can't be done.
 
I rarely use anything but the default "like" emoji, so I know you wouldn't find me scrolling through dozens of them just to indicate that I have read your post. I don't use emojis, smilies, or whatever often anyhow, but I might be more likely to insert them in a post than to spend half an hour deciding which one to use in a "like."

I honestly don't understand the problem. If we had dozens of choices in the "like" emoji, people would complain that it's just too hard to go through them all, while others would insist they need hundreds of choices.

Yes but, you can unlike an emoji, if you hit the wrong one. I do a lot since I got this new IPad🤯🤯

@Ken Anderson as you already know, I use them all the time🤠. Without voice inflection they often do a good job of conveying intent🤠🤠

I can't imagine why you'd want to; there are literally thousands of them available.

I think there is still some confusion here. Yvonne was talking about the "like" emojis but the conversation has moved to general emojis that go into the text of posts.
